    New Radiator Does not sit high enough to put Radiator cap on once Hood is on!

    Seems to be a common problem generally...

    Oscillating idle - 8N

    Disconnect the linkage from the carb to the governor. If it idles fine when disconnected it's unlikely that the carb is the problem.

    Hydraulic oil level

    It's not my design but freely available. You will have to use your slicer to split it as it won't fit on most 3D printer beds. https://www.printables.com/model/617030-ford-tractor-hydraulic-adjustment-jig

    Hydraulic oil level

    I 3D printed a widget so I could see the oil flow volume with the top cover removed without it spraying everywhere, and the oil came out at a lethargic dribble. I could see one of the pump housing gaskets leaking, so the pump will be coming out, but at least it gave me the opportunity to adjust...

    Hydraulic oil level

    Thanks. I just did an eyeball measurement and the oil level is about 1 3/4 inches below the bottom bolt, but the dipstick is still on the full mark. I'm printing the gaskets at the moment so I won't have it back together until tomorrow, but it will be interesting to see if that's the problem. I...

    Hydraulic oil level

    Do you mean the circular inspection covers, one of which has the dipstick tube built in?

    Hydraulic oil level

    My 8N hydraulics are sluggish and when under load they raise the arms in a series of jerks. Difficult to describe, but it's like something is getting slightly stuck before releasing, and it keeps on doing this until the arms are fully up. When the arms are in the up position they will stay that...

    Hydraulics maximum load

    Took the side plate off and checked the adjustment as per the manual and it was fine, the PTO is engaged and I did a complete overhaul of the pump during the restoration. The main cross bar is 2.5" x 2.5" x 8' solid (170 pounds on it's own), took that off and everything works fine, so shopping...

    Hydraulics maximum load

    Thanks for all the replies, but just to add I looked up on an on line calculator for the weight of the main steel beam used, and with a bit of estimation for the rest the implement it weighs about 400 pounds in total. Would that be too heavy before I start looking at pressures?

    Hydraulics maximum load

    After a full rebuild of my 49 8N I wanted to put it to work and I was offered a class 1 home built 2 row ridger which looked perfect. Now this thing is heavy, and I mean it took an engine crane to attach it to the tractor, it's that heavy. And now the hydraulics won't work with it attached, so...

    Pertronix Ignitor II bench test fail

    I ended up building my own hybrid ignition. Kept the points but they now just do the switching of an IGBT designed for ignition coils , but no need for the capacitor in the distributor or the ballast resistors. Add to this if you turn on the ignition with the points closed, and if the points...

    8N starter bendix

    Problem solved. A neighbor had a spare one with an original Bendix.

    Thank you, but unfortunately out of stock https://www.yesterdaystractors.com/R2325_Starter-Drive_7701.htm

    8N starter bendix

    Does anyone know where I can get a Bendix for my 8N starter, and I mean a proper Bendix not the piece of c**p ratcheting one I was sold, but one that you don't have to fight to get to retract? Went to start my 8N and the battery was low, so the Bendix stuck. Put on a brand new battery, but the...
